I bought a Presario SR1519UK back in 2006 for use as a home server, it was to replace my Compaq Evo D510 SFF. The 1519 came with AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 512Mb RAM, 160Gb IDE HDD, DVD+RW, I think the motherboard was an MSI with AMD RS200 chipset but it featured 2x SATA ports which I intended to use with 2x 320Gb drives. My main PC at the time was a Compaq Presario S4490UK, a P4 2.8 with HT but I ended up replacing it with the 1519 and upgrading it to 2Gb RAM and an ATI Radeon X1600 to test Windows Vista when it came out. I restored it back to Win XP and gave it to my mother back in 2008 and it ran until 2015 before being retired!
My parents had a very similar desktop to this, except it may have been a SR1600NX model that had an ATI Radeon graphics card. It was used from c. 2005-06 until 2012.
aw man seeing this PC brings me back--from about ~2007 up to mid-late 2014, my family used to have a winXP compaq presario! lotsa good memories associated with it, alongside the rigors of what a family PC goes through w/ kids in the mid 2000's (cursormania will always be associated with war flashbacks to me lmfao), so compaq presarios will always mentally be "oh! that's the PC i grew up with" to me iirc the compaq presario still worked albeit it's age, but what ended up making my family part ways w/ it was it's original keyboard mechanically failed i believe? the A key on it would constantly act as if it's pressed down despite no input from the user. probably a result of drinks getting spilled on it, though
Now if only someone can reconstruct this screen from the 2004 to 2006 HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario PCs in any unofficial Windows XP version, particularly for the Windows XP versions of DriverPacks. (9:06)
I have the version of this with the 3.5" floppy where the card readers are and a 40gb hard drive. When I was doing a system restore, I discovered AFTER it had already removed the existing operating system that my recovery discs no longer worked (they were CDrs that were basically 20 years old). So now the computer is stuck in BIOS hell. I've been trying to track down some authentic recovery discs, but it's hard to find them for my precise Compaq. Any advice on how to get it up and running again?
Good god, I can't believe HP/Compaq were peddling VIA-chipsetted Socket A stuff in 2005. Interestingly, I have a Presario laptop from around the same time with an Athlon XP...on s754!
I've seen VIA chipsets even on some LGA 775 boards but still,what's wrong with it being a VIA? As far as i know socket A systems either had VIA,SIS or Nvidia chipsets. VIA seemed to be more stable than SIS for me and Nvidia ones would be the best but they were found on more expensive boards
i have the sameone too i put redhat linux awsum i swear these computers maybe old but never obsolete you upgrade the bios and fogetta bot it and since the compaq company is still up and run just new owners you can find drivers for it what microsoft needs to do is give us open sorce comunity winxp 7 98 95 and win 10 and open sorce it out and we maintain im sure if thet combine win10 wsl they can doit with those os and we can do better job
192MB of RAM? lol in 2003 or 4 i had a custom prebuilt with an Athlon XP 2500+ and 128MB of DDR RAM and Windows XP. Whenever i wanted to play Max Payne 2 on it was so slow loading it that i didn't even know if it's still loading or if the computer froze 😂😂
Respect for tolerating XP on that amount of RAM, I had to deal with XP SP3 on a pentium II 400 MHz back when my “main” pc at the time died, which was still a celeron D. Mind you this was early 2013. It had 768mb RAM (the P2 pc), so at least it had that going for it but oh boy the cpu did not appreciate chrome even back then, which this was before the SSE requirements so it was very very slow to the point of being unusable regardless. But it did it somehow.
@@jwoolery99 Yeah,that was my first computer and i didn't know anything about them at that time but thankfully that RAM stick failed in about a month or so and when i took it to their service i told them i'd even pay them just to make it faster so they replaced that 128 and added a 512 stick too and made it 640MB. Don't know what the guy that came up with that configuration thinking because i think the XP 2500+ was not that bad at the time to pair it with such a low amount of RAM. Rest of it was a Geforce 4 mx 440 and a 40GB HDD so they defintely cheaped out on the RAM

Nice that they loaded Norton for you automatically. So that you can take it out first thing.

A rare find - a COMPAQ logo text with a red loading screen on the bottom.
Came from Circuit City and Radio Shack.
I remember putting Windows 2000 on a bunch of them. These were best suited for Windows 2000, 98 and Me.
OH NO NO NO!!! Not Windows 2000. Maybe use Classic Mode in Windows XP and maybe more memory.
@@chrisgarrett9619 Very much yes to 2000 and Heck no to XP especially crippled Home Edition.
like the first PC I ever had back around 2004
That shows (c) 2004 SoftThinks Acer Gateway and Emachiles also used SoftThinks. Then HP and Compaq used Cyberlink.
i had the sr1920nx loved it ran good and quiet

There’s one of these still brand new in the box on eBay right now. I saw it last night.

This was my first ever pc, except mine ran windows xp media center 2005, and had nvidia, and 512 mb or 1 gb of ram

I was using Linux already back then, and 0 issues with VIA chipsets. The Nvidia nforce ones however... boy they sucked in Linux..
